Done buying new bikes. I'll keep the ones I have running.

The other day, parked to get lunch and plug my Volts, heard a generator started making electricity, yes it was feed by a oil tank.

What's next.

I hope HD can start bringing in newer, more affordable models to bring people to the brand. Still have yet to see a Sportster S or Nightster 975 on the road yet, and I ride a lot. The only time I see those two bikes is at a dealer with 250 miles on them, one of those goofy windshields and maybe a few other small tidbits. Sportster S is a cruiser that isn't comfortable to cruise on lol. I like both of the new bike's but the used prices need to come down, and these electrical gremlins need to be taken care of.

Just don't see myself owning any one of the new revmax bikes. Evolution Sportster 'till I die, and maybe one day I'll snag an M8 LRS or Fatboy once they're old news and not $16k used. Would love to offer M8 turbo kits w/intercooler and for those that want to go really fast, intercooler + water/meth injection.

The new management team at HD has decided they are going to be a designer brand. They aren't interested in affordable entry level bikes. Corporate Wienies. They will be the demise of the company.
